CIA 2022 Live & CIA Alumni: The Inside story

---

Your Cruise Interpreter  Academy™  training is designed to help the WHOLE interpreter and ensures that participants will get in touch with their authentic self and align that with interpreting. In the interpreting field (and also through interactions with the Deaf community,) there are opportunities as well as challenges as they occur, to work together for the effectiveness of the common goal. When interpreting, the common goal is to facilitate language and cultural mediation effectively. 

This power, privilege and oppression session of the academy cover topics including:

• Bias, Justice
• Value and equity success;
• Authentic ethical case studies and activities

Find what you can authentically contribute to the field of sign language interpreting. After all, the interpreting profession is “Authentically Yours,” not just a job. 

Put your stamp on your work, and let your work speak your character. When you are authentically recognized for who you are, beyond your skills and knowledge; ethically you have succeeded in bringing the true purpose of becoming a sign language interpreter to light in a field that can be competitive, stressful, or challenging. However, sign language interpreters are a valuable asset to the Deaf community, and vice versa. The ability to achieve effective collaboration (between deaf individuals and ASL interpreters) is one that starts by understanding your role and the benefits of your contribution to the interpreting profession. Bring your best efforts to this workshop and be prepared to “Stay Authentic.”
